2019 Conference Information
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2019 CAAA conference has been cancelled.

Allan Botting has spent all his working life in Mechanical Engineering with a long time
interest in aviation. Now retired and painting as a hobby he says he is happy to be in the
company of these accomplished CAAA artists. His inspiration comes from years of reading,
viewing and flying aircraft. Historical depiction is high on the list of subjects providing the
fulfillment of painting a scene and using a style similar to famous aviation artists such as
Robert Taylor, William Phillips and Roy Grinnell to name a few. Painting the subject in as
realistic a manner as he is capable of doing is his goal. Satisfaction comes from aviation
peers recognizing the image and providing a painting that will be cherished.
